    Love Soul Heaven Hell – Chapter II

    Repeat visitors also tended to arrive with their own contributions to replenish the fridge, freezer, pantry, or the wine chiller.  Luke, for example, always brought something unusual that he knew added distinction to the fare that Bette and Tina were serving to their guests, such as the choice Serrano ham he brought today.

    Tina had set the wine and glasses on the banquet table, to allow the wine to breathe a little before serving it.  Bette followed closely behind with the cheese tray, and a basket of warm broken-up  french baguette.  Tina brought over elegant Limoges bread plates, the cheese slicer, and small knives, while Bette plopped rectangular and circular-shaped metal tins filled with pureed raw food into a water-based bath to slow cook these.  She was preparing a brunch for the group using molecular gastronomy techniques that she’d refined with some of Lara’s friends.

    Over in the dining room area, Tina had pulled out one of the unique vases from the corner shelves and quickly arranged some flowers on it, picking a bunch from the flower arrangement sitting on the banquet table.

    Bette and Tina moved around quietly and efficiently as they prepared the food and drinks, mindful of the deep and serious conversation going on between Luke and Brom.

    By the time Luke and Brom raised their heads to look around, Bette and Tina were done fixing everything.  The men were surprised to see an elegant arrangement of cheese, fruits, crackers, and warm bread surrounding a beautiful flower arrangement housed in a stylish vase, everything set in the middle of the large dining table.  Matching Limoges plates and pearl-handled knives were arranged in front of four place settings.  Bette was just finishing pouring out red wine into oversized goblets.  With a small smile Tina handed a glass each to Luke and Brom.  She and Bette took seats side-by side to sit across from them.

    Luke tilted the wine glass to his nose, to inhale the aroma floating out from the deep red liquid.  “The right glass for the right wine, Bette,” he nodded appreciably.  There weren’t many homes he’d visited in New York that served wine in just the right way, in the manner that Bette and Tina always did. For instance, for this Chateauneuf, Bette had chosen oversized goblets that were broad at the base, but narrow and angled at the top, which allowed the complexity of the wine to come out, by channeling the wine to your tongue at just the right angle. The shape of the goblet, and the quality of the crystal, also allowed the aroma of the wine to be picked up in such a way that the floral and woodsy notes of the complex wine floated up to your nose.  In any other glass, even those designed for red wine, all these facets of the Chateuneuf would be lost, robbing the enthusiast of the depth of aroma and complex taste of this excellent wine.  Not all red wines required such a glass; other wines required other glass shapes. And not many homes had the range of glassware Bette and Tina maintained to serve wine properly in – but even those that did didn’t always know the right glass to use for particular wines, the way Bette knew.
